Run, Fool is coming in November!
Run, Fool will follow an anthology format in the style of the Twilight Zone or Tales from the Crypt with each episode focusing on a singular, terrifying ghost story, from various periods of American history.
For instance, legend has it that a black goat farmer named Oscar Washburn moved his family to a residence just north of a bridge in a Maryland known today as Goatman’s Bridge. It got that name because it was haunted by a half-man, half-goat figure that Oscar Washburn sold tickets to see. Until horror ensued. Goatman is the first of dozens of these stories that will be told.
We’ve got some deliciously terrifying stories to tell, and an exciting list of folks joining in on the fun. So just know, when it gets too scary, you can always Run, Fool.
Me trying to look really spooky as I record the trailer for “Run Fool!” A new horror podcast hosted by me! Produced by @campside_media @atwill and @mrballen 🧛🏿♂️🧙🏿👽🧟♂️🧟♀️🧌🧛
Run, Fool drops on November 14th!
Florence & Normandie: Coming Soon!
From Zombie Love Studios comes a new tale of monsters and mayhem!
Down on his luck, Malik, an intelligent, young black man with an engineering degree— delivers fast food just to make ends meet. His girlfriend left him, his grandmother thinks he’s a disappointment, and his ambitions and hope are slipping away. He doesn’t think his life could get any worse…until an APB of a suspected criminal that matches Malik’s description puts him in direct odds with Officer Brown, a cop with a chip on his shoulder who is looking for any excuse to escalate the situation.
Now, Florence and Normandie - the cross-street infamously known as the flashpoint of the 1992 LA Riots - may just be the last thing Malik sees if he makes one wrong move…but little does he know that this landmark corner is about to find itself at the center of another seminal moment of American history: The world’s first alien invasion.
Can these two men, from polar opposite backgrounds, put aside their differences and stop fighting each other long enough to find a way to save Los Angeles… or will they kill each other first?
The story comes from legendary Rapper/Actor @xzibit and myself, with art from @wayshak and @margalotto.
Florence & Normandie is coming soon and will be a 5 chapter graphic novel.

Monarch TP Available Today
Young Travon has ventured beyond the makeshift shelter of his high school's walls in a desperate search for food and rations for the surviving students-but no heroic act goes unpunished. Travon finds himself captured and at the mercy of these strange beings from another world, but what do they want with him? Why are they attacking Earth? And will he ever see his beloved Daysha again, or is he as doomed as the rest of the world?
The Monarch TP, collects the entire miniseries (issues 1-6), and is available today!
Alice Cooper #1 - Available Now
In this tale, the legendary rocker is up against the demonic forces of evil that are invading everything, including his own fanbase.
The series comes from Dynamite, with myself penning and Edu Menna, known for his work on KISS, Barbarella, and Starfinder, handling the art.
Among the star-studded crew of cover artists for this series is my frequent collaborator, Jason Shawn Alexander. Plus, the incredibly talented Stuart Sayger and Andrew Mangum, along with a photo cover of the bombastic lead singer and a blank cover so fans can draw original sketches. Oh, and all of these covers will be cardstock!
Legendary rock acts are finding themselves attacked by demonic forces. The police investigate, but there's little to nothing they can do to stop the problem.
At the same time, Alice Cooper has a new album out and is in the midst of a promotional tour. It's great to see all his fans again, but there's a disturbing trend happening in every city - more and more of his audience appear to be undead! Complicating matters, when he goes to bed at night he ventures into the Nightmare Place. When he awakens, he's in another city standing before a throng of fans, where he meets the Archangel Gabriel.
Gabriel tells him there's a great music club called Burning Meat where the souls of legendary musicians hang out, watching the headliner - Lucifer - play his own personal style of rock music to the raucous applause of the demons in attendance. Now, Lucifer wants to take the show to Earth and the only thing stopping him is… Alice freakin' Cooper!
This first issue has it’s amps blasting at an 11!
